Ok, so I'm sure a lot of you have heard me bitching about getting constant choke.  I finally figured out WHY I was getting it.  It's because AMD sucks balls more than ever.
First, to see if you are affected by the problem:

click the start button
click Run... (sorry, I can't remember how to make it appear if it isn't there)
type cmd
press enter
in the box that appears, type "ping loopback -t" (no quotes)
press enter
wait till you get 9 or 10 lines

you should see this:

Notice how the time on every line is <1ms.  If you are getting a large, or negative number on any of those lines, then you've got it, and it could very well be why some shots in game just aren't registering.

To fix it, just go here and download the AMD Dual-Core Optimizer.  Once it's downloaded extract it anywhere, and install it.  Redo the ping test, and it should be fixed.

Hopefully this will help some people out.

I don't get this problem, but it's most likely because I use a Phenom quad-core... The older AMD processors really do suck bawls though.

Good find Pan, maybe now you won't rage as much when you get pooned by Heavies.

Already found it Pan.  Well I had the same problem where I was getting negative value pings (yeah thats crazy) and I'd get pings of like 4 billion and something.  That was just a ping to my router.  I had to install the Processor Driver update, and problem solved.

AMD chips have always been great for me, perhaps you aren't treating them right. Are you feeding them well?

you aim at people, and the shots don't actually hit them.  To you it looks like it hits them, but they take no damage from it.
